This is a must-have product. Not only does this complete your protective apparel by protecting one of the most sensative of areas; it is also right in your budget. Think of getting hit in the neck. Ouch! Do the math.

Strengths:
- Protects your neck
- Can encourage bouncers
Weaknesses:
- A bit hot, (a given with a neck protector...)
- Big company logo plastered on front
Review:
Well, after seeing some ugly welts on people's necks from getting shot there, I decided to buy one of these. It works well, and even encourages some bouncers! (Always a plus). It can get hot in the summer, but the protection is well worth it, and if you get too sweaty with it on you can always take if off between games. As for the company logo, it is more of a personal preference.
Conclusion:
Get it... if you want.

an autococker.(E-orracle) i have many barrels a 88cu 5000psi fiber raped nitro tank, steal braided hose new delrin bolt and a blade double trigger.
Strengths:
Protects my neck from being shot
Weaknesses:
well i can not bend my neck to look down or to bend my head out of the side of a bunker. I use a v-force mask wth no neck protection so before this i had a habit to put my head down a little. I had to change my habit and i think that the pad keeps ur head straight and gives the other team a greater chance to hit the neck that the pad is protecting.not that sweaty
Classic Timmy, 32* shark drop forward, 32* on/off, Crossfire 68ci. 3K, Bob Long Torpedo reg, custom made oak grips, Rico 2K
Strengths:
It works. There really isn't much more to say. It does exactly what it says it will do, protect your neck. I've taken a few in the neck and was only left with a small red spot instead of a welt.
Weaknesses:
Your neck gets very hot and sticky wearing this thing. It's worth it. Every other neck protection will do the same thing to you. Just take it off between games. I don't like the logo right in front like that.
Conclusion:
Like I said this thing does what it's supposed to. It will save your neck. It's ok to wear and it's not the ugliest thing I've ever seen. So for $6-10 why not?
a once... piranha, but now piranhaish now super blowback monster.
Strengths:
it does protect every place in the neck that has any chance of being shot,
it's cheap
while it does sweat a bit... it doesn't seem hot ... hmm
adecuately protects even when ur wearing a proteus (like mine)
cushins the blow amazingly
Weaknesses:
w/o a mask u look like a turtle
the giant redz logo is right under ur chin
people sometimes make fun of u for wearing it.... (till they get nailed on a bunker attempt... happened to me)
Conclusion:
while it looks wierd sometiems, i think it looks cool with a mask on
heres a lil story... the first time i ever played (3 years ago)... i got shot in the neck... it was almost enough to turn me away from paintball (...almost)... but i stuck it out, and when i saw this on the shelf i knew i hadda have one, especially w/ the proteus im sporting now.
well in the first game i used it in after buying it... what'da'ya know... on a bunker attempt i got nailed right in the neck... felt like nothing more than someone touching ur neck... i had to call a paint check cause i thought it myta been some loose back-man's bouncy ball, but nope, 5 ft away from the guy i was bunkering, wow.
DEFINATELY worth the investment, i expecially say go for one. i actually heard redz are comign out with new ones w/ smaller, better looking logo's... dam
Spyder shutter with elcd, warped dropforward, n2 80ci, angel reg, bob long bolt, 16in barrel, 12 volt revy, custom drilling to make the air flow better, SM small expantion chamber, oh man, to much to list, let me just say its a damm good spyder
Strengths:
it protects me in the neck, its nice and snugg, it stays on great
Weaknesses:
well its too darn sweaty, it does not breath enough even though it has holes to vent, it looks damm ugly and the egdes fray after a while.
Conclusion:
well, if you want neck protection then get this! if its hot then it sucks for you cause it makes me sweat like nothing!
Comfortable, ventilated, protects you from unexpected balls.
Weaknesses:
When you are wearing a neck protector, you'll feel weird, maybe claustrophobic or having the feeling that you are being strangled. But, if you keep wearing it during after afternoon of playing, you won't even know it's there. You may find it a little bit sweaty when it's hot.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, for people who are not used to it, it will feel strange, but keep wearing it, keep faith, I personnally like the Redz neck guard better than the Brasseagle one. Expensive for Canadian players. I recommend it to people who like good protection.
This product is rally comtorable and breathable. Its fits really nice on your neck and well it blocks paintballs from nailing your neck and preventing you from breathing (its happened to me, thats why I bought this.)
Weaknesses:
Nothing I know of so far, well I guess in a few years dirt will get on the velcrow causing it to fall off but you could probably wssh it.
Conclusion:
If you want to protect your neck with comfort by all means buy the redz neck padz.
